Inanna Rising is proud to post another online training from our Live series now for members listed on our training pages. This one by our very own board member, Regina Wei, MA, LMFT.

People are called to engage in activism in many arenas and for many reasons, but almost by definition activism involves commitment, perseverance, and a deep, sometimes driving, sense of purpose. What differentiates sustainableactivism from other forms of activism? This workshop uses an IFS (Internal Family Systems) framework to name how parts-driven activism can lead to ineffective interventions, unintended consequences, and burnout.

Self-led activism, by contrast, feels very different from parts-driven activism. Self-led activism leads to sustainable results both for ourselves as well as for folx we engage in conversation. Rather than feeling discouraged and depleted, we feel more resourced. Rather than countering with defensiveness or reactivity, folx we approach are more likely to respond openly to suggestions and perspectives, thus making change more likely. When we are Self-led and engage with intention, deep healing is possible for all parties, and oftentimes the result is more connection and community rather than alienation or discord.

The presenter draws from their extensive experiences in activist work—both parts-driven and Self-led—to guide participants in an experiential exploration of their activist parts. By the end of the workshop, following small and large group sharing, participants will feel equipped to identify, partner with, and support their activist parts from Self. Prior experience with IFS is helpful but not necessary for participants to benefit from this workshop.

workshop duration: Approximately 2 hours.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Participants will be able to:
1. Identify which of their parts engage in activism and articulate why parts-driven activism leads to burnout.
2. Identify and address internal and external obstacles that may stymie activism in spite of good intentions.
3. Practice Self-led activism for best outcomes, sustainability, and to prevent burnout.
